Reminds me of when I saw a Mountain Spring Water filling station ornamented with a picture of a snow-capped mountain at a Wal-Mart about 500 miles from the nearest mountain and nearly 2k miles from the nearest snow-capped mountain. The thing had pipes out the back going into the wall. That was straight city water that maybe that dispenser filtered a little more if it was properly maintained.
Nope. Especially not in Texas in the summertime. The pipes are close enough to the surface that they warm up (unless you have well water, which is always cold).
Thats definetely a health hazard. If the water stands long enough to get warm, it will get infected sooner or later.
Doesnt matter so much for the sistance between the main water pipe and your tap, byt after a holiday you should definetly let some water run until it comes out cold again.
I bet that internally the mechanism must be like this

A good filter can do wonders.
Living in an area with very hard water, yes.
Nah, you’d notice if the water wasn’t chilled.
The real trick is to build these in places where the tap water is naturally cold, and to heat the free stuff.
Wait isn’t tap water always naturally cold?

Weird. Where I live they bury it eight feet deep so it doesn’t freeze in the winter so it’s constantly chilly.
Yeah but you live in hell
You can always put more clothes on. You can only get so naked

City water is chlorinated though
You mean the haphazard handling of drinking water or Texas in general? You’re right either way 🤷
Water comes out of my tap at 103f ok the summer , Arizona.
And degazify if it’s naturally sparkly.
